Domino Harvey, the inspiration for New Line’s upcoming film Domino, died in her Los Angeles home on the evening of June 27. Following are reactions to the news of her death from the film’s director and producer.

“Domino never failed to surprise or inspire me over the last 12 years. She was a free spirit like no other I have ever known.”Tony Scott, director of Domino

“We were enormously saddened to hear of Domino’s untimely passing. She and I had been conferring about her music to be used in the film only weeks ago. I know I speak for all of us on the movie’s cast and crew when I say how much we enjoyed her presence on set when she visited. And although our film is not intended as a biographical piece, hers was the dynamic personality and indomitable spirit that spawned an exciting adventure, not just on screen, but in real life.”Samuel Hadida, producer of Domino
